Description & Requirements

Every great company is built on two core pillars: understanding who their users are and delivering exceptional value to them. At Bloomberg, our team is at the heart of both.

Our systems support the full journey of over 8 million users, handling 20+ billion user data requests-enabling virtually every Bloomberg product and service. Without this critical infrastructure, Bloomberg's $13+ billion in annual revenue wouldn't be possible. Furthermore, every user's journey as a Bloomberg user begins with our team at the point of user creation, and we are hands on with the entire lifecycle of the user during their time as a Bloomberg user.

As Bloomberg continues to diversify and support users with diverse personas, we are at a critical inflection point as a company and system. To better support their journey through Bloomberg's expansive product portfolio, our system must become modular, reusable, and scalable. We aim to take these modular pieces and build out a full fledged platform that provides deep insights and auditability into Bloomberg users.

• Mentor and support colleagues fostering growth and knowledge-sharing across the team
